    Hi everyone , new member here , was wondering if anyone has used a front leveling kit on a 2wd runner ? Ive seen spacers and pre loaded struts with 2 inch lift for leveling. Pros and cons about either ?

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Wheel spacers have both advantages and disadvantages, including:
    • Pros
      • Better handling: Wheel spacers can improve a vehicle's handling by reducing body roll and improving lateral grip. This can lead to faster acceleration and better handling of the car.


      • Sportier look: Wheel spacers can change the appearance of a car.


      • Better road holding: Wheel spacers can improve a vehicle's road holding.

    • Cons
      • Increased steering effort: Wheel spacers can make steering heavier and require more effort when turning at low speeds.


      • Increased component wear: Wheel spacers can increase the wear on a vehicle's wheel-end components, such as the bearings, axles, and control arm components. This is because the spacers increase the leverage on these components.


      • Reduced wheel bearing life: Wheel spacers can reduce the life of a vehicle's wheel bearings because they are not designed to handle leverage forces. This can increase rolling resistance and power loss.

    Welcome to the forum from San Diego! Would you consider front Bilstein 5100 shocks set at the second or third notch to raise the front end up?
